ABSTRACT:
A reproduction speed of speech sound changing apparatus which reproduces speech data at a speed in which essential part thereof can be caught so that the outline of the speech sound can be grasped even when changing the reproduction speed, besides remarkably reduces the whole reproducing time wherein a reproducing speed in each predetermined period is calculated according to a parameter value in every predetermined period of speech data in accordance with such a manner that a part having a high parameter value such as high power, high pitch or the like of speech data is judged to be the part, where important contents are involved, and such part of important contents is reproduced at such a speed that the contents can be caught, while the parts other than that described above are reproduced either at such a speed that the whole reproduction of speech data can be completed within a required time, or reproduced by skipping over the parts if at thus determined reproduction speed, reproduced speech sound cannot be caught, as a result of paying attention to such fact that voice is louder or pitch of voice becomes higher in the part containing important contents in speech data.
